What is the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)?
The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is the first international treaty negotiated under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO). Adopted in 2003 and entered into force in 2005, the FCTC aims to address the global tobacco epidemic through a coordinated set of evidence-based strategies. It includes provisions for reducing both the supply and demand for tobacco products.
